   This text includes "Functions and Graphs in Applications" (Ch 0.6) which is fourteen pages of preparation for word problems. Authors of a book on finite fields chose their exercises freely: [ 5 ] In order to enhance the attractiveness of this book as a textbook , we have included worked-out examples at appropriate points in the text and have ...

3. Equation solving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

   An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.

4. Solving quadratic equations with continued fractions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solving_quadratic...

   The quadratic equation on a number can be solved using the well-known quadratic formula, which can be derived by completing the square. That formula always gives the roots of the quadratic equation, but the solutions are expressed in a form that often involves a quadratic irrational number, which is an algebraic fraction that can be evaluated ...

   Therefore, the graph of the function f(x − h) = (x − h) 2 is a parabola shifted to the right by h whose vertex is at (h, 0), as shown in the top figure. In contrast, the graph of the function f(x) + k = x 2 + k is a parabola shifted upward by k whose vertex is at (0, k), as shown in the center figure.

6. Elementary algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra

   To solve this kind of equation, the technique is add, subtract, multiply, or divide both sides of the equation by the same number in order to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Once the variable is isolated, the other side of the equation is the value of the variable. [ 37 ]

7. Word problem (mathematics education) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem_(mathematics...

   Word problem from the Līlāvatī (12th century), with its English translation and solution. In science education, a word problem is a mathematical exercise (such as in a textbook, worksheet, or exam) where significant background information on the problem is presented in ordinary language rather than in mathematical notation.
